All we need to freedive is a body of water with some depth! The sea lochs and bays of the west coast offer countless opportunities for underwater exploration. Below are a selection of locations that are particularly welcoming to beginners as well as being beautiful and special in their own right.

GAIRLOCH BEACH

1.5 hours from Inverness, this secluded bay offers a friendly and inviting environment for freediving due to its sheltered, blue, often clear waters. With hot showers and a restaurant available it adds a layer of luxury. The rocky left of the bay is a fun snorkelling spot with kelp and various sea life

Slightly further from Inverness but totally worth the journey we have Loch Diabaig with picturesque views out to the Isle of Skye and still, clear and often glassy waters, it is easy to find peace and slip into relaxation in this quiet, calm and ancient feeling bay.
